With InfoLinks Related Tags, they make it more possible for us to increase our earnings through the informational tags that we can insert wherever we want. The Infolinks algorithm will choose the BEST and most relevant keywords to your contents and display them within the Related Tags cloud.
What’s good about using InfoLinks Related Tags is you can insert it ANYWHERE within your blog posts or contents. You have full control. For instance, I want to place the Related Tags below this paragraph.
There! All I have to do is insert the InfoLinks Related Tags script wherever I want, as long as I have already integrated the InfoLinks script for my blog (click here for the guide). Below is the code for the Related Tags:
You can find this script on the Related Tags section when you login to your InfoLinks account, as shown below.
Because you have full control over the placement of the InfoLinks Related Tags script, you can make adjustments whenever you want if you think that the current position of the ads doesn’t bring you that much revenue.
Another reason why I like theInfoLinks Related Tags is its layout or format. They’re not in-text links. It appears as a related tags cloud so most of your readers will be more inclined to check out and click on the links. This will greatly increase my revenue, especially on this blog. As I’ve mentioned in my previous post about InfoLinks, they’re my main source of income on Pinay Online Money Maker.
One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature though is a full look customization option for the InfoLinks Related Tags cloud. I also want to control how it looks, the same way as the regular InfoLinks hyperlinks. For instance, I would like to add a border around the Related Tags cloud or change the colors of the links so I can highlight them within my contents. That way, my readers would easily see the related tags. I believe that if given this option, they would be more inclined to check out the related tags.
I have just recently implemented the InfoLinks Related Tags cloud on this blog and I am really expecting higher revenue. I am now in the process of adding InfoLinks Related Tags on my most popular / most read posts here on Pinay Online Money Maker so I will share with you in the coming days how it affected my overall earnings. I have already implemented in-text ads in my other blogs in the past months and I’ve seen big improvements in my earnings so I know using InfoLinks Related Tags will definitely boost my earnings.
One of the many ways I make money online nowadays is through InfoLinks, especially with this blog, Pinay Online Money Maker, because I don’t monetize from the traffic this blog gets. Well, except for the referrals I get, InfoLinks is the main source of income on this blog.
If you’re not yet familiar with InfoLinks, they offer a pay per click in-text contextual advertising and the highest revenue share to bloggers or website owners. What happens is once you’ve integrated InfoLinks to your blog or website, they’ll insert text links within your content. Below are some screenshots of the InfoLinks hyperlinks you’ve probably seen on this blog:
When a visitor hovers or places their mouse on top of the InfoLinks hyperlinks, a floating informational bubble / window will open. If the viewer clicks, they’ll be directed to the advertiser’s landing page and you earn revenue. If the viewer moves their mouse away from the hyperlink, the bubble will disappear.
If you ask me, how InfoLinks work is not at all obtrusive so I don’t think it’ll affect your readers’ experience, especially when they’re just reading your contents. I also set it up in a way that the look of the InfoLinks hyperlinks are different to my blog’s actual links. I’ll be discussing how to do it later on this post so read on.
At the same time as not being obtrusive, InfoLinks is also a great way for you to monetize your blog or your contents because, like in my experience, the ads that show up on my InfoLinks hyperlinks are very relevant to my contents. So, the possibility of a visitor clicking on the ads is way higher, most especially because the links appear within your posts. Your visitors will have a tendency to get interested by the InfoLinks hyperlinks and click on the related ads.
Another thing that I love about InfoLinks is how easy it is to set it up. Let me show you how to do it.
I have stopped working for Cloud Crowd on Facebook due to my very busy schedule. But, I continuously get payments on my Paypal account because of the people who sign up as my referral.
I did earn a decent amount of money from Cloud Crowd before I stopped working for them. Now, I’m not sure if I can go back or if I want to. But, if you have the time and you are okay with how their system works, go ahead and join Cloud Crowd.
I will write a review and newbie guide on Cloud Crowd next time. Keep posted for that.
Here’s my last payment from them. It’s not much, but, I only earned this from my referrals. I only have 32 direct referrals and 3 second level referrals. You can earn from Cloud Crowd up to the third level of referrals.
This was supposed to be Part 3. My bad. Part 3 will be my Tips on how to get your blog approved when you sign up to Paid Review sites. Stay tuned for that!
Before I go ahead with the guides on how to accept or bid for Paid Review tasks, let me share with you some tips on how you can get more opportunities for your blog.
Advertisers prefer to offer paid review tasks to bloggers who have their own domains.
Why? Because the paid posts would look more professional and reliable if it’s on a blog with its own domain.
It’s pretty easy to set up a free Blogger (blogspot) or WordPress blog so there might be people or possible customers who wouldn’t want to read about a certain product or service on a blog with a Blogspot.com or WordPress.com address. There are some companies who create free blogs with Blogspot addresses to spam or get links for their website or blog. If you have your own domain, you would look more reliable as a source of information.
If you’re interested in registering your own domain, I suggest you do so with Moniker. They offer the cheapest domain prices. I’ve got 6 domains registered through them. It might seem kinda complicated to set up your domain with them but I have written a guide on how to do just that over at my other blog – How to Setup Domains in Moniker for Blogger. The guide was specifically written for Blogger users, but the setup process is pretty much the same with other sites.
To search for a domain, use the banner below:
! Free Domains !
You can also sign up for a free CO.CC domain. However, take note that NOT all the domains on co.cc are free. And, only your FIRST YEAR will be free. To start checking if your preferred co.cc domain is still available, use the form below:
I’ll post a guide on how to setup your free CO.CC domain to point to your blog.
Don’t be too demanding.
If your blog is not that popular, don’t set your paid post price too high. My lowest paid post rate is $5.00 for a 100-word blog post. I’m pretty okay with this since writing paid posts also helps me keep my blog updated for my Adgitize earnings. I just make sure my posts are all interesting and not just some random blog post for the sake of completing my requirement. But, hey, it’s all up to you what you want to do with your paid posts. \
Now, if the advertiser is offering you a very low rate compared to the amount you usually get per post, especially when they have a lot of requirements with text links or contents, then, by all means, demand for a higher rate. I’ve done this a couple of times already and the advertisers were all willing to accept my request for higher rate.
If you’re already making money through Linkbucks like me, then, you have to make sure that you add an exception on your Linkbucks script to prevent the advertiser’s website to open with Linkbucks ads with it. Why? Because most Paid Review sites are very strict with how the advertiser’s website is linked to your blog.For instance, Blogsvertise. I got a couple of posts that were declined before because the advertiser’s text links on my blog were automatically converted to Linkbucks links.To add an exception to your Linkbucks script, follow my guide:
Be creative with how you use the text links required of you.
You can simply talk about something that happened to you or a friend, something you saw on TV or in a movie, or even like a random rant so you can insert the text links. It’s pretty tricky so you really need to think about how you would incorporate that text link to your blog post without compromising your blog’s quality and your readership.
Make sure you follow the link requirements.
If the advertiser requires you to insert 3 text links, then, you have to follow them. No exceptions. If they want a REVIEW, write an actual review and don’t just insert the required text link (I’m guilty of this LOL).
This is why I love this certain paid post site (I had to remove the name). They only require you to post 1 text link on your Paid Posts. Thus, it makes the whole Paid Post thing easier for you. However, the opportunities are automatically approved and you are required to complete all of them so inserting those text links on your posts can really be tricky. Hehehe. But, still, I love them!
Your paid posts should remain on your blog FOREVER.
If the Paid Review sites found out you were deleting your paid posts after you got paid, your account may be suspended or deleted without notice.
Make sure you follow the word count requirement.
If the advertiser wants you to write a 200-word post about them or with their text link, you MUST follow or your paid post will be rejected.
Read the requirements carefully. Otherwise, your account might get suspended.
Not all paid post opportunities were created equal. I mean, some advertisers are more lenient wth their requirements; some are very strict. For paid review sites where you can bid for opportunities, if your blog doesn’t meet any of the requirements, DO NOT BID on the opp. Your account may be suspended or banned if you do this.
For instance, the advertiser only wants PR4+ blogs to bid. If your blog is at PR2, don’t bid on the opportunity. If the advertiser wants blogs about TECHNOLOGY only and yours is a personal blog or about family, don’t bid.
Submit your Paid Posts before the deadline.
If you don’t, you’ll miss on the paid post opportunities. And, for most Paid Review sites, if you continue on missing your deadlines, you’d get fewer opportunities next time around. You’ve got a whole lot of competition in writing Paid Posts, so, make sure you maximize your earnings from them by doing what’s required of you. And, another thing, if they see you’re finishing your paid opportunities early, chances are, you’d get more opps.
Note: This post may be updated in the future as I think of more tips on getting more paid opportunities and fast approval of your paid reviews/posts. So, make sure you check back or bookmark this page for more tips in the future!
CloudCrowd is a Facebook application where you can make money online. They offer Data processing and entry services, internet research, content filtering and more to different customers and companies worldwide. And, those jobs are offered to online money-makers like me on Facebook. There are a lot of tasks you can complete on CloudCrowd such as reviewing websites or other members’ works, editing or correcting articles on the web, researching, etc. I enjoy editing badly written texts so that’s what I always look for first on the available work page. Once you finish a task, your payment is sent for approval. As soon as it’s approved, you would get the payment the next day, no matter how much the amount is.
Here’s another set of payments from CloudCrowd: (Click images to zoom)
I only received a few cents from them because I actually lost the will to finish more tasks after my 4 disputes. I agreed with their decision on 1 of them, but I haven’t heard any feedback regarding the other 3.
I’ll post an update as soon as I heard from the admin on the other 3 disputes. I feel that nothing’s going to happen since it’s been over a week now, but let’s see.
